Afterthoughts....

I really liked the view ;)

Tottering in my heels along the walkway towards One Marina Boulevard with my scrawny arms struggling to hold on the bulky notebook and steel-chained Chanel-inspired (brimming) bag slung over the other shoulder.
I was huffing and puffing and trying not to fall while maintaining a steadfast pace as my feet can take me but my stride was limited by the hem-width of my dress. -_-"
Mag texted me last night to reach at 0745 instead... arghhh and Aloysius' bedroom window happened to be facing the funeral held at the adjacent block. It wasn't a peaceful night.

The reason for my attendance was because I was appointed to attend the SME Development Conference organised by DP Information Group. DHL being a co-sponsor has a booth (right in front of the buffet table) and this was supposed to be a opportune avenue to showcase our Ecommerce Solutions to the attending SME representatives.

It was definitely not the kindof crowd I was expecting, there was an interesting mix of folks. They were from all nationalities and wardrobes haha. Well, SMEs does refer to small-medium enterprises.

As I was stationed at the booth, I did not attend all the talks except during the panel discussion. I must say I'm proud of "Mr DHL" haha. One of the panelists christened Herbert as such, which I believe he wasn't impressed. But it did provide a light-hearted moment to the otherwise dry topics earlier.
The objective of this discussion was to address the challenges that SMEs face to establish their business and also to field the questions that participants posed.
The panelists were seated on the stage with an audience of 400-odd. I thought only Mr C.S. Liew and Herbert were more prominent in their presence and responses. Mr Liew had a wealth of experience for starting his own company, which was evident by his age, he gave very clear and thoughtful answers. Herbert was impressive being somewhat the odd one out, country manager of a logistics MNC. He was able to give insightful and informative responses despite being impromptu.

Maybe I was being prejudiced, I've always been intimidated by Herbert's confidence and intellect.

I'm still a far way off from that stage, there's alot to learn and time is running out.
